Yeah, I will try this in a few other places to see.

Thanks way much!!!

No problem.  Thank you for all the time you've put in to help chase 
this down.  Makes it so much easier when the person with original 
problem mucks in with the investigation.
Just think how much time you've saved for anyone with a large number of

those Gerrit change refs ;)

 Perhaps this is a naive question, but why are all these refs being put into a list to be sorted, only to be discarded soon thereafter anyway?  After all, git branch knows that it isn't going to print these, and the refs are stored precategorized, so why not only grab the refs which matter upfront?
